“Hey Mike, this is Will Harris in Georgia, White Oak Pastures, and I don’t expect you to call me back. I called to tell you that I read where the cattle folks castagated ya pretty good for partnering up a little bit with the HSUS, and I wanted you to know that you were right and they’re wrong.

“I think that the HSUS agenda is a whole lot closer to White Oak Pasture’s program than NCBA’s agenda.

“HSUS actually just featured White Oak Pastures in a magazine – something they put out, and I was proud they did it and I recieved some behind my back criticism for that from some of my cattle brethren. And, I know they’ll never say it to my face, but I think you’re right and those guys are wrong. And congratulations. I’m proud to call you a friend.

“My voice is about gone. Got a little laryngitis but I’ll talk to you later.”
